@IanDunt During the hustings here in Marlow last night, someone tweeted about @joymorrissey identically from 5 different accounts, saying how she was ‘killing it’ (which she clearly wasn’t!) Ironic, since she’d just talked about running a clean campaign.

If there were ever an argument for putting music back at the heart of the Ebacc it's this. An exploration of how music can heal, but more importantly about the creativity waiting to be unleashed in every school. #choirkaa @KAA_Intrepidus @GarethMalone @BBCTwo

@leewhowrites I came down this morning to find the dog had done a wee on the kitchen floor. I made myself a coffee first and sat at the kitchen table looking at shape of the wee thinking it looked like South America before finally being awake enough to mop it up.

@AlchemicKitchen @waitrose Disagree. Food banks like the @Onecan_trust are facing overwhelming demand right now. They need every bit of help they can get and @waitrose has always been supportive. This is not normalising. This is fundraising. Don’t blame Waitrose for doing its bit and showing the way.

I feel a bit sorry for this Charlotte Owen woman. Someone’s going to get to the bottom of why she’s been ennobled, and regardless, she’ll never be able to sit in the HoL without being ruthlessly mocked, however long she lives. Probably more sensible to turn it down. The jig is up
